I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Kraków) in Apr 2022
Interview
The interview was conducted at a high level and very efficiently. It was divided into 3 parts: a code review of tasks that needed to be done beforehand, an algorithmic live coding task, and a technical and soft-skills conversation. The whole interview took about an hour. A few hours after the interview, I got a phone call with the result, and I got feedback via email on what went well and what went wrong on the interview.
